CLASS PROPHECY Miss Vallery's daily quiz being over. we sat back relaxed as she directed us to open our books to read a scene from Macbeth. The witches chorus had the effect ot a lullaby for all at once the page became blurred. and my classmates were going round and round chanting: Double, double toil and troublef Fire bum and caldron bubble. The class, or was it the witches, faded out as I winged upward. Yes, there sat Iohn McCoy at the controls. Suddenly I remembered that I was an international correspondent for the New York Times on my way to London to cover the coronation of Elizabeth II. Catherine Wittkugle, my secretary, and the nattily dressed Pat Moore. my camera man, were sitting opposite me. I overheard Catherine say, lust think, it has been twelve years since we graduated from Waverly High. l'm getting quite anxious to see Mr. and Mrs. Swiger and their three red-headed sons. When we arrived, sure enough, there were Donna lean and Morris eagerly waiting for us. Morris had been recently appointed ambassador to England. They graciously invited me to be their quest during my stay. We could hardly wait to exchange news items. I had just left the Lake White Colony, the Hollywood oi Ohio. where I had seen several of the old gang. For three whole days I had been resting at White Villa, the swanky resort club, managed by Hobie Helman and his beautiful wife, the former Betty Castle. Marriage had rescued her from a stage career. During my stay I had met again and talked with Robert Stanley. movie producer, and his wife, Ruby McReynoldsg lim McGowan, sound technician: Betty Ann Downing, glamour girly Mary Wood, novelist: and gentleman Iack Kinney and his socialite wife, Eunice Pfeiier. lack had struck oil. I learned from Hobie that the Lake White City boom was due to Robert West, realtor and business promoter. The story seemed almost fantastic. A helicopter manufacturer, Mr. Copter. had crashed into his Nonarne farm- house, and consequently, had met and liked Robert and his wiie, Namoi. He had invested a cool ten million in West's initial project. Donald Hammond was one of his foremost contractors, and the beautiful homes extending on the hillside from Waverly to the lake is the result of their special work. Furthermore, Mr. Copter had built one of his maior plants in Waverly in which he placed Herman Harris as supervisor. As I lett White-Wave Airport, I discovered Ruthie Snyder at the ticket window and Thelma Tackett at the information Desk. Ruthie called to Iames Oyer, weather man, to meet an old classmate. At the same time Mayor Rhodes stepped up to greet me. He was indeed proud of the new city and asked me to be sure to include it somehow or other in a special report in my paper. Before I could get away, up came Lois Cool and Doris Brown as chic as if they had come directly from Paris-instead, they had come directly from their class rooms in Waverly high. Lois was dramatic director. and Doris, art instructor. Superintendent Robert Steiner had sent his best regards, as had Charlotte West in charge of Home Economics. I W
